Destination camp 360 (But watch out for the terraces!)

I had a good nights sleeps last night despite being woken by Jackals that seems to have surrounded the hose where we stay. I would much rather hear that all night than be attacked by some of the massive spiders I have seen lurking around.

The skies looked a bit more promising when we awoke this morning, but the cumulus were already popping up everywhere on the way to launch.
The idea was to try and make it to camp 360 where we were taking off from the first few days.
The eager ones in the group were unpacking there gear as soon as wee arrived as we new that conditions were likely to get worse and we did not fancy a taxi ride back down the mountain.
I launched first, closely followed by John, Lex and Rob. We had a point to aim to that would put us out of danger from other pilots and clouds. Lift was quite week but it was a game to stay high enough to glide to next ridge but low enough to remain clear of clouds. It was not far to 360 but after a couple of ridges I. found myself scratching to stay up. For a while I thought that I was home and dry only to find myself in sink again. I wanted to be sure that I could make it to the possible landing options clear of the high voltage wires that were in the area of the small valley where I was going down.
A lot of the hill landings here are on terraces and this area was no exception. The main worry is that as the as the slope went down, options appear to decrease with the trees around. I made one last turn so I could land safely on the upper part.
This was to turn out to be a bad idea and I took a heavy landing into one of the terraces.
The other I believe are camping under the stars at the camp but from here, it looks like the skies are clouded over so lets hope they are not in it and have a good night!

There is probably chance to have one last flight tomorrow as quite a few of the group are heading home now. I will give it a miss tomorrow and possibly head elsewhere around India in a day or two as it does not look like that the epic conditions will be here in the immediate future. I hope I am wrong for some of the others who will be staying on. I will return here again when the 4000m bases of the past return.
I will try and add a few pics on this blog page soon and update on what is happening over the next couple of days...
